Red Mansion Fanfiction, Yuanchun became a concubine because of her mother's status

Sometimes, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

The news that Shi Changzai was pregnant, although they had been keeping it a secret.

But both the Shi family and the Jia family had received the news that Shi Yinian was pregnant.

They kept the secret well inside the palace, but once outside the palace, the news leaked out.

After the news of Shi Yinian's pregnancy reached the palace, the palace replaced a batch of porcelain.

There are more than fifty women in the harem, and even those who are already mothers will envy others for being pregnant with the royal heir.

Not to mention those who have been in the palace for many years but have not conceived a royal heir.

"Why isn't your belly growing well at all?" Concubine Xian fixed her eyes on Baoqin.

Her old master was pregnant, and Shi Changzai, who lived with Concubine Jia in Changchun Palace, was also pregnant.

And what about Baoqin?

In order to help her get pregnant as soon as possible, she gave all her favor to Baoqin.

But Baoqin was an unfaithful woman and had not conceived a royal heir.

Think about Jia Yuanchun, who got pregnant after sleeping with the emperor just once.

Then think about Shi Changzai. As far as she knew, she had only served the emperor in bed twice since she entered the palace.

"Do you believe, my lady, that there are such accidental things in this world?

I wonder if the people from the four great families have any medicine for pregnancy prevention." Baoqin said.

Is it her own problem that she can’t get pregnant?

If one could get pregnant with a prince just by sleeping with the emperor, Your Majesty wouldn't have only a few princes left.

"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine, are you sure?" Xianpin expressed doubt.

She asked the people in the Jia family, and they didn't have this kind of medicine, okay?

Let’s not talk about people from far away, let’s just talk about the people from the branch of Duke Rong.

The first wife has only one legitimate son, while the second wife currently has two legitimate sons. But how old is the youngest legitimate son?

If they really had a medicine to help with pregnancy, the Jia family should have many children.

"I'm just suspicious. After all, it's rare for a woman to get pregnant with an heir after sleeping with him."

If it was due to physical reasons, which young lady who had just entered the palace would be in poor health?

They became ill later because they were tricked in the palace.

When the concubines entered the palace, they were examined. If they could not get pregnant, they were not allowed to enter the palace at all.

"Lady Jia is pregnant with twins. As long as these two children are born safely, her status will definitely not be lower than mine.

Do you regret betraying her?" Xianpin asked.

Because of the matter of Baoqin, it was impossible for her and Concubine Jia to stand together.

She succeeded in creating an enemy for herself.

"Since I've done it, I won't regret it." Baoqin said.

If she had not taken this step and was just a palace maid holding the zither, how could she have become Qin's concubine?

Now she is the master, and being the master is definitely better than being a servant.

"Are you still in touch with the Jia family?" Xianpin changed the subject.

"Noble Lady Jia already knows about our affairs, and I can't contact them." Baoqin said.

Concubine Jia was decisive enough. After knowing that these people had been contacted, she directly gave up on some of them.

The Jia family is not short of manpower. After giving up this group of people, they sent a few more people into the palace.

"What a pity." said Concubine Xian.

She was also thinking about doing something when Yuanchun was giving birth.

However, if she didn't take action, Concubine Zhen would definitely not let Concubine Jia have an easy time.

When the news of Shi Yinian's pregnancy reached Concubine Zhen, she went crazy.

First it was Jia Yuanchun, and then Shi Yinian. These two people whom she was planning to use to suppress the four major families were both out of her control.

Now they have children.

The people from the four great families saw other hopes and no longer supported her.

She has also felt this change these days.

Previously, she had the support of people from the four great families, so there was no hindrance when she acted in the palace.

But not anymore.

You have to spend money to get the connections.

"You are all useless. Shi Changzai has been pregnant for more than three months. Why didn't you find out?" Concubine Zhen was getting angry at the people below her.

Why does she keep so many useless people?

Lian Qing didn't dare to reply. It was because the Queen trusted the people of the four great families too much and didn't train more of her own people.

This means that after the four great families withdrew their forces, the Empress's side was left with insufficient manpower.

If they had been careful enough, there was no way they could have allowed Shi Chang to safely pass through the first three most dangerous months.

"Since Shi Chang is in this pregnancy, should we keep her?" Lian He asked.

She knew that what she asked was nonsense.

But you can't be silent.

"What do you think?" Concubine Zhen asked with a serious face.

She didn't want to keep this baby, but Shi Changzai was smart and hid under Concubine Jia.

She failed to take action against Concubine Jia, but did she have any solution for Concubine Shi, who lived in the same palace with her?

"Before, our focus was on Concubine Jia. In fact, Concubine Shi is much easier to deal with than Concubine Jia," said Lian Qing.

Concubine Jia's mother was born in the Wang family, and she received help from the Wang family.

And the girl from the Wang family married into the Xue family and became the mistress. This relationship must be special.

The two direct descendants of the Xue family are Yuanchun's cousins. Based on this relationship, the Xue family's connections are definitely on the side of Concubine Jia.

But the Shi family was different. Shi Yinian’s biological mother was just the daughter of a minor official of the sixth rank.

Shi Changzai could only get help from historians.

"You said it's easy to deal with her, so tell me how to deal with her." Concubine Zhen said.

Do you think they are the only smart people in the world?

If Shi Changzai didn't know the capabilities of the Jia family, how could she have moved to Changchun Palace?

When she moved to Changchun Palace, she was not yet pregnant.

"When Consort Shi lived in Changchun Palace, it was difficult for us to take action against her, but now that she has moved out, things are different."

"Of course I know that things will be different if she moves out, but do you think she will move out?" Concubine Zhen wanted to roll her eyes.

Can't you use your brain?

“When she gives birth to the royal heir, she will definitely move.

I heard that Shi Changzai's father made great contributions at the border, and when he returns, his official position will be promoted again.

She is only a concubine now and cannot live in a palace by herself, but what if her status is raised a level?" Lian Qing said.

The father was doing well outside, and the daughter was pregnant in the palace. If the position of Shi Changzai was not promoted, who else could be promoted?

Although Lian Qing was telling the truth, Concubine Zhen's face was gloomy.

As long as Jia Yuanchun gives birth to the child, her status will be promoted.

It's the same when Shi Chang is here.

When the other party was just a concubine, she couldn't kill them. Now that they become the masters of a palace, what role will she have?

In their palace, there are three concubines and three imperial concubines, but according to ancestral rules, Your Majesty can have four concubines and six imperial concubines.

Now the position of concubine is still vacant. Among so many people in the harem, the ones with the greatest chance of being promoted to concubine are these two!

When she thought that there would be a day when Jia Yuanchun and others would be on equal footing with her, Concubine Zhen became restless.

"Make arrangements and intensify the attacks on Shi Changzai here." Concubine Zhen said.

Yuanchun has been confirmed to be in poor health, so she can be dealt with later, but Shi Yinian must be eliminated now.
